Queens, Bredbury

Mark Knibbs, the Business Development Manager, is seeking an applicant with a strong understanding of the local marketplace and a community-focused approach, along with a solid knowledge of sport and its role in driving pub trade. Experience in operating a similar high-volume, wet-led venue would be highly advantageous. Applicants should bring commercially minded, sales-focused ideas to maximise revenue before, during, and after match days, while ensuring a safe, well-managed environment for all customers. The successful operator will be responsible for planning and delivering a consistent weekly entertainment programme, including activities such as quizzes, bingo, and securing bookings for live entertainment, including bands and DJs. The Queens also offers excellent opportunities to grow trade through its facilities, including a rear external space which can be fully utilised during milder weather as an extension of the pub’s trading area. In addition, the impressive function room provides significant potential to drive additional income through community-led events, private hire, and celebrations, further strengthening the pub’s position at the heart of the local community.

The Queens is ideally positioned on a busy main road linking Marple, Romiley, and the surrounding Stockport suburbs, with easy access to the M60 motorway, providing excellent connections to both Manchester and Liverpool. The pub benefits from a range of nearby amenities, including convenience stores, takeaway outlets, and other licensed premises, while a large Morrisons supermarket is just a short drive away. The area is also well served by reliable bus routes, offering strong transport links to neighbouring communities and making the venue easily accessible for both local residents and visitors.
